Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I hope you TJ's having folk worship your good fortune!

Oh, I do.

Owen and his concern for Polgara is hysterical. Perhaps he will grow up and defeat the Insomnia Fairy!

Oof, Should be asleep.

But poor old Mister Kitty made a geriatric (as opposed to diabetic) mess with litter (peed on his feet, clumping litter,) which necessitated a bath, which was much needed anyway because he's been neglecting that. And a blow dry.

Why doesn't he do this earlier in the night??!

And I hate seeing him decline. It's inevitable, but it is sad. He sleeps, mostly, and is happy when he's awake. All I can ask.

I've begun the serious search for a cell phone provider, never having had one before. I generally only call Hubby and I'm looking for something to call home with when I'm at the store, so I'm thinking of the Cricket pay as you go plan. Does anyone have any horrific experiences I should consider with Cricket or the phones they provide?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I have never heard the term faithful as a pussycat, but it's very evocative.

I'm a new and not entirely voluntary cat owner. Mostly we ignore each other except when she cuddles up at night (and vocally complains any time I shift.)

Work from home days she will jump up on the counter (where I work) like 19 times no matter how many times I grab her and drop her to the floor. Her general facial expression when she gets up one more fucking time and looks at me can best be described as "Fuck You, Whale!*)

Honestly, her usual facial expression is the death glare. Given that mine is the same, you'd think we'd get along better.

Turns out (surprise!) I'm a dog person.

[*That's a Southpark reference, not a body image demon, to be clear.]

Oh yes you have. "Killer Queen" by Queen.

Ok, I want to be amused too. Do I have to have Twitter to read owen's tweets?

I ate so much food at dinner that I am still monstrously uncomfortable two hours after I stopped eating. Poor planning. Ow. But I never get to eat good Cuban food at home! Still, reminder to self of limits and the reasons for them.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Freaking insomnia fairies.

I have "followed" Owen on twitter. Now I just have to remember to READ twitter and even post.

In my other I can't sleep so what else should I do, wandering through okcupid is probably not the brightest idea. I'm so tired of the NGA bench. A hug and a smooch would be fantastic. That being said, I have a 22 year old who is trying to tell me that our age gap shouldn't be a reason not to get together. Ummm....I have a daughter almost his age. And he fails the "half my age plus 5" cougar test. (Isn't that the calc?) Shoot, he is barely over the "half my age" part.

I think half plus seven is for a suitable mate.

Not a suitable, you know, mating...
